Abstract- Online Flight Tickets Booking S ystem were
first introduced in the late 1950s as relatively simple
standalone systems to control flight inventory, maintain
flight schedules, seat assignments and aircraft loading.
The modern Online Flight Tickets Booking S ystem is
comprehensive suite of products to provide a system
that assists with a variety of airline management tasks
and service customer needs from the time of initial
reservation through completion of the flight.
One of the most common modes of travel is traveling by
air. Customers who wish to travel by air nowadays have
a wide variety of airlines and a range of timings to
choose from. Nowadays competition is so fierce between
airlines that there are lot of discounts and a lot of
luxuries given to customers that will give an edge to
those particular flights.
The World Wide Web has become tremendously
popular over the last four years, and currently most of
the airlines have made provision for online reservation
of their flights. The Internet has become a major
resource for people looking for making reservations
online without the hassle of meeting travel agents. My
Project intends to serve these purposes. It intends to
check all the available Flight databases and return a
string of results, which can help them in their travel
plans.
The objective of this project is to create an Online
Flight Tickets Booking S ystem where a traveler can
request all flight information as per their journey dates.
They can get information regarding time, cost, etc all at
the same time and place. When the customer calls the
Counter Assistant for his/her travel needs, the counter
assistant will enter the customer's details (flight
requirements) in the system. The system displays all the
available airlines, schedules and prices. This system
would help the airline to better serve its customers by
catering to their needs. The site would use a Database to
hold this information as well as the latest pricing and
availability information for the airlines.
I. INTRODUCTION
IJIRT 145997 INTERNATIONAL JO URNAL OF INNOVATIVE RESEARCH IN TECHNOLOGY
Online Flight Tickets Booking System was one of the
earliest changes to improve efficiency. Online Flight
Tickets Booking System eventually evolved into the
Computer Reservations System (CRS). A Computer
Reservation System is used for the reservations of a
particular airline and interfaces with a Global
Distribution System (GDS) which supports travel
agencies and other distribution channels in making
reservations for most major airlines in a single
system. Online Flight Tickets Booking System
contains airline schedules, fare tariffs, Passenger
reservations and ticket records. An airlines direct
distribution works within their own reservation
system, as well as pushing out information to the
GDS. A second type of direct distribution channel are
consumers who use the internet or mobile
applications to make their own reservations.
Inventory management an airline’s inventory
contains all flights with their available seats. The
inventory of an airline is generally divided into
service classes (e.g. First, Business or Economy
class) and upto 26 booking classes, for which
different prices and booking conditions apply.
Inventory data is imported and maintained through a
Schedule Distribution System over standardized
interfaces. One of the core functions of the inventory
management is the inventory control. Inventory
control steers how many seats are available in the
different booking classes, by opening and closing
individual booking classes for sale. In combination
with the fares and booking conditions stored in the
Fare Quote System the price for each sold seat is
determined. Display and Reservation Users access an
airline’s inventory through an availability display. It
contains all offered flights for a particular city-pair
with their available seats in the different booking
classes. This display contains flights which are

stationed at any airline office location.

• Passenger Module
This module enables online customers to make
reservations, views their bookings, make special
service requests and define their preferences over the
web.

• Payment
Provides the airline with the ability to set up various
travel agents and give them reservations capabilities
over the Internet. The travel agents are able to display
and offer discounted fares to passengers.

• Cancellation.
The system should allow the user to cancel the
existing booking. In this cancellation very helpful in
all the travelers.

VII. CONCLUSION

The entire project has been developed and deployed

as per the requirements stated by the user, it is found
to be bug free as per the testing standards that are
implemented and by specification-untraced errors
concentrated in the coming versions, which are
planned to be developed in near future.
Finally, we like to conclude that we put all our efforts
throughout the development of our project and tired
to fulfill most of the requirements of the user.
